IMRDC 202722 & 23 January
The eighteenth IMR Doctoral Conference (IMRDC 2027) is being organised by IIMB Management Review (IMR) and the Office of the Doctoral Programme on 22 & 23 January 2027, at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB).
IMRDC remains a benchmark doctoral colloquium in Management Sciences and seeks to facilitate collaborative work among researchers from across institutions in India and abroad. It provides a forum where focused feedback from eminent faculty could help improve the quality and rigour of doctoral student research. The conference has been commended by students and academics alike for the thorough and constructive feedback provided through its “one exclusive discussant per paper” format.
We invite full paper submissions from doctoral students in Management across all areas, including Decision Sciences, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Finance & Accounting, Information Systems, Marketing, Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Management, Production & Operations Management, Public Policy, and Strategy.
The submissions will be reviewed by a Faculty Review Committee in multiple rounds, from which a set of papers will be selected for the final presentation and critiqued by invited discussants at the conference. Papers selected for the conference will be considered for publication in IIMB Management Review, subject to author approval and after completion of the journal’s required review process.
An IMRDC Best Paper Award is given to a paper selected from among those presented at the conference, based on the decision of the Conference Chairs, the Discussants, and the Faculty Review Committee.

IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a format that is accessible to a wide audience. to this end, IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature. Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers. Full-length research articles (up to 8,000 words) on all the business functions, aspects of policy and management pedagogy form the core of the journal; at present, focussed discussion and interview papers, and book reviews are also featured.
